both will work but small shops, vendors may not accept baht, The exchange rate may be a little lower than if you exchange money before really depends on how much your planning to spend
how to get without bank statement marriage visa in Thailand, Savannahket, I have Non Immigrant O Visa for 3 month permission, but i want to need Marriage Visa for 1 year, i don't have Bank statement 400K is there any way please tell me?
Unfortunately they have now changed the rules at Savannakhet just after my visit and it is no longer possible to get the multi-entry visa without a bank statement showing that you have at least 400k in there. The single entry one is the only one available now.😥
Hi Tony, great video, very helpful and informative.. Thanks After seeing it, I’m intending to make my way from Phitsanulok to Savannakhet in a couple of weeks.. This will be my FIRST non o visa application based on marriage. If I take all the doc’s that you mentioned together with my bank book showing 400,000 baht , am I likely to get the marriage visa in my passport in just I day ? Seems too good to be true.. Thanks Barry
Hi Barry, From what I understand things have started changing at the Savannakhet Embassy I'm not sure why but im guess it is due to the amount of people using it. before it was very easy and straightforward but since I was there to make my own shown on this video I have seen that people are now reporting they require financial evidence of 400,000 baht in a Thai bank ie a statement showing the funds available which I'm guessing would need to be date just a few days before your visit. I find this a little puzzling because if you have the 400,000 why would you even go there, you could simply make a 12-month in-country extension meaning you don't even need to leave Thailand and have all the hassle of traveling to Laos. Rumors FIRST STARTED when people were reporting that they were telling people you need your wife present when making the application and then the above. So at the minute, I'm not sure what the state of play is or what you do or don't need. So if you are planning on going in the near future I would say to be 100% sure of not getting turned away make sure you take the wife and the bank statement. if they take the application at the window the visa is in your passport the next day as in the video if they are not going to give you a visa for any reason they won't accept the application.
@@thailandtony Tony thank you so much for your reply, that explanation was really appreciated and helpful has saved me a journey to Savannakhet. As you say with these new requirements there no point in going there I might as well make my application from within Thailand, think it may well be worth using an agent for the first application and go from there. Seems so much is changing in Thailand at the moment, (the same as it is everywhere.) Anyway nice to have made contact with you, and wish you both all the best. Look forward to the future videos. Best regards, Barry
Hello mate, Did the immigration office ask you for any bank book copy or bank statement? I plan to go there on the 15th August rather than to Vientiane. Thank you for your answer.
No Questions about bank related stuff Savannakhet is the place to go if your looking at making a marriage visa 👍 Vientiane is totally different and more hassle
Nope, just bear in mind since I filmed the video according to Thai visa sites the embassy is now asking for financial proof as in a bank letter stating your account has at least 400k in it. How accurate these reports are I can't say 🙏
